To send data to a WebSocket API in Grafana, you can use a variety of methods depending on your specific requirements. Here is a general overview of how you can achieve this:

  1. Use a data source plugin: Grafana provides various data source plugins that support WebSocket connections, such as the SimpleJson plugin. You can configure this plugin to connect to your WebSocket API and send and receive data.
  2. Create a custom WebSocket data source: If the existing data source plugins do not meet your needs, you can create a custom data source that uses WebSocket connections to send data to the API. You can find documentation and examples on how to create custom data sources on the Grafana website.
  3. Use a HTTP proxy: If your WebSocket API does not support direct connections from Grafana, you can set up an HTTP proxy that acts as an intermediary between Grafana and the WebSocket API. Grafana can then send HTTP requests to the proxy server, which forwards them to the WebSocket API.


Overall, the exact steps for sending data to a WebSocket API in Grafana will depend on your specific setup and requirements. It is recommended to thoroughly review the Grafana documentation and explore the available data source plugins to find the best solution for your use case.
